Kapono Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Quick question for those with the latest data- if I do mostly moderate/abundant yield lockbox missions (at any level/skill) will I pretty much break even if the missions are successful? Thanks in advance for anyone's assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnSixteen Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'm sure you'll get people who will say otherwise, but the general consensus is that yes... depending on your personal RNG you just about break even with whatever mission you run (more than likely, you'll profit a tad). They actual profit with slicing is the random missions rewards you may get, and if actually using it to gather resources instead of just running missions. The other general consensus is to never run augment missions, ever (unless there is actually a market for them on your server) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenXCub Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The only thing I've really noticed is that they'll all average out to minor profitability when you don't count crits, but each stratum makes the range vary more. Example: Moderate class X box costs 100c, will return 85-150c Abundant class X box costs 200c, will return 150c-300c Bountiful class X box costs 300c, will return 200-500c Rich class X box costs 500c will return 250c-1000c. Those are just numbers to show that the min/max ranges vary more with higher level boxes, but that they still add up to a small gain. For me, I still pick specific level missions when I'm hoping to crit for specific items (like Class 4 Ship Upgrade schematics... I assume they only come from a specific level range).

(Which is why the purple missile launcher is the only ship schematic you get from T6 missions.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karstedt Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 If you get a crit bonus companion you will do better. I have had pretty incredible success with T7 and it's meager +2 crit. It seems to make a big difference, and I frequently get blue credit boxes and extras that way. My other slicers do not have crit bonuses, and I find myself less and less inclined to run slicing missions with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for confirming this for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
